Dolan joined London and Los Angeles-based 42 this week as Literary Manager, responsible for managing film and TV talent in the company’s Literary Department. She was previously at UK outfit Casarotto Ramsay & Associates for more than ten years.

Dolan brings with her a prominent list of international filmmakers including recent Oscar-winner Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman), The Lunchbox and Our Souls At Night director Ritesh Batra, and Joanna Hogg (The Souvenir).

Dolan said, “It has been inspiring watching 42’s achievements over the last few years and their role in reshaping the UK representation landscape. I couldn’t be more excited to be joining such an engaged, focused and internationally-minded team with an exceptional client list.”

42’s Cathy King and Josh Varney added, “Sophie works with some of the most exciting auteur filmmakers and creators in the industry today. She is a truly entrepreneurial representative with a deep understanding of the global marketplace. Her energy and ambition are matched by her taste and tenacity. Her joining us at 42 is a huge addition to the team and we are tremendously excited to be moving forward with her.”
